abstract

  • A second mode slot spiral antenna having maximum radiation between the broadside and horizon directions is proposed for automotive applications. The antenna is situated in a shallow cavity and can be conformably mounted at various locations on a car. Finite element and fast multipole moment method simulations of the isolated and mounted antennas are provided and compared with measurements. It is shown that a 5.5″ diameter aperture with 0.5″ deep cavity can provide coverage for DAB, PCS and SDARS systems.
